About This Quote

In the moments of adversity, we engaged our minds on beautiful thoughts, our spirit on spirituality and our hands on inspiration writings. What a good trade of pain for peace of mind? Imagine if you were going through a particularly difficult time and someone came to you and said, "If you will only think more about how beautiful things are, you will find peace of mind." And, some people might even say that is a good trade. But what if the person who said this failed to tell you that it was all a lie? What if some things are actually painful to think about? Because there are some ideas that cause more harm than good.
